I think it does more like 7-8 knots. It means it takes twice as long to get there as a boat like Elite but who cares if you are travelling at night?

thanks for all the votes of confidence! We are also sorry that Thijs and Nic have left us but i think Bali was on the agenda so you can't really blame them.

T & I are also very pleased to accept the toblerone, port and blue cheese that has been brought for them, but would prefer some thorntons truffles next time and perhaps some London Porter?? :-)

Paul if you'd like some info on the boat/ trip etc please feel free to pm me and I'll try to get back ASAP

Happy Diving

For my part, I thoroughly enjoyed the trip on Hurricane. The rough sea crossing back to Hurghada was an experience, so I'm glad I was on a sturdy boat.

So what if it isn't the quickest in the fleet. We don't go there to race other boats, and the currents don't reward you for getting there early (which way do the currents go Suzie? ...HeHe!)

I thought the guides were great, with short informative briefings and letting us do our own dives.

I'd recommend the boat and the guides to anyone.

Hi Susie, Our week with yourself and Thomas was probably the best weeks diving we have had.
Basicly to anyone is thinking of using the Hurricane, the boat and crew is great, the guides are better.
Ian, the guy who had to leave the trip at short notice sends a big Thankyou for how everything was handled and he is now on the mend.
If people want to know what the diving was like, well I can pretty much say that we all saw plenty of sharks (6 different types) and personaly the Sail Fish where the highlight of my week.

Pete
